Title: Taking out HQ
Post by: Turbot on May 14, 2002, 12:37:31 PM
In the "Strategic System" table it says

"HQ 19 1000 lb 2 hours Kills all radar for a country"

Has anyone experimented to see if it matters what you hit with all that wieght?  I think everyone just assumes the biggest buildings, but has anyone tested to see if that is truely the case?  

There is no one building that takes 19 X 1000 to drop. I am fairly certain the central square building takes 14 X 1000, but I know it is not 19 X 1000.  So...can we hit any of the buildings for same effect -is it just eggs anywhere in the target area?

Has anyone actually tested to see?

14,000 lbs. on the HQ will only take radar down 50%, add another 2,000 it goes down to 75%, 19,000 will bring it down to 100% and destroys the building (yes, done it many times)  You can check how much damage you've done in 25% increments via the Strat button.

And this should be in the Gameplay forum (with due respect)

Do you still have to take out cities to keep HQ down for 2 hours?

If both cities are down, 2 hours.  its incremental depending on the damage done to the city.
